I guess they can fill more guests in, which would be OK if the ones seating two were not so small and pushed uncomfortably between the glass panels and the way of the servers to go back and forth. We used to always have the melted cheese for appetizer and the garlic shrimp with white rice, priced at $25 and the shrimp were juicy and large. Lots of garlic and huge shrimp, think there were six per plate. Ambitious margaritas were delicious and just the right amount of alcohol. The rim was evenly coated with coarse salt and they were really a treat. The last time we were there was the night after Thanksgiving last year and we were extremely disappointed. Food arrived before cutlery and we had to ask for napkins. We kept getting bumped by workers in the narrow traffic space and the margaritas were heavily watered down with salt on the rim an afterthought. To add insult to injury, the much smaller shrimp were separated from the rice, very dry (overcooked) and tasteless. They were served on a flat plate not conducting to hold butter or whatever they used to cook the garlic in and the poor shrimp looked like they didn't belong there. I take they have a different chef and are cutting costs because everything is more expensive now. Well, so was our bill that took a ridiculous hike. The price that stuck to my memory was the garlic shrimp, from $25 to $34 for a much smaller and inferior quality dish. So from being our favorite Mexican place in Gables to being taken off the list.

Mauricio was at the bar and we definitely missed being under his attention by not sitting there. Eliezer (the Venezuelan waiter from Mérida) took care of us in the dining room. Both are always very friendly and attentive. This time we decided to sit in the dining room because we were a group of three and had a lot to talk about. The place has 4 TVs and we were able to enjoy the France vs Spain match. We all ordered La Tropical Draft beer, a light, smooth, and very refreshing blonde. In total we had 16 beers . We shared nachos with grilled steak, which were very good (they pour the melted cheese right at the table). We also ordered tripa tacos well toasted (that's the technique) as we requested, and they came out excellent. Note: They have different promotions or offers depending on the day, not a regular happy hour variety, so it's good to be aware of that. The restaurant offers a good variety of 8 salsas: Sirloin, Chips, Guacamole, Verde, Vicente, Pastor, Chilanga, and Asada. Good atmosphere, pleasant service, and tasty food. We'll definitely keep coming back.

Having stayed till closing of two music week events the prior to evenings, this was in my mind a great recovery meal. Despite the name, this restaurant is not just Mexican, but actually fusion with Uruguayan cuisine. The main courses focused on that area, and the tacos had a lot of exotica such as ear and tongue. Given my preferences, and my stomach, the only basic options that I would get were there Al Pastor and chicken tacos, five dollars each. The menu said that they had alcohol, but apparently not on that week, supposedly for some bureaucratic issue. The tacos were served with just the tortilla and the meat, along with a basket of fixings, such as cilantro and line. No complaints of the food really, the tacos were actually well seasoned and for my taste buds made even better with the hot sauce that left a yummy after burn. When I went to the bathroom, the handle on the door was damaged. Besides that, in the end I was not feeling the place especially that there was a mandatory gratuity.

We were starving and ordered quickly, got our food after just a few short minutes along with two trays of sauces and fixings. The quesabirria was INSANELY delicious, and the tacos were too.

The service was just okay and the music too loud for my liking, making it perhaps not ideal for families with children. It was very busy and not necessarily spacious. However, the food is transcendent. Everything that we tried was outstanding, even the chicken nachos and quesadilla. They season and cook everything properly. The beef tacos were fresh and tasty and the quesabirria tacos were even better. Great flavor and balance. What takes this restaurant to an elite level is the mole. It is exquisite and a rare find.

    BEWARE: Before I get to the food; the waitress is manipulating the system to receive more of a tip…read more My food total charge with tax was $60 and change, I left a $10 and change tip. When I looked 20 minutes after at my credit card statement read I had been charged $77 and change pending a potential tip on top of that, even with tip included it is still over approximately $7 what I signed off for. We called to determine the prices of each individual meal and "the manager" was stumbling to tell us the prices for everything. Even with the fake numbers that were given to us it still didn't add up correctly. I remember the prices for the 3 meals my family and I ordered and I remember what the check said. I let it be because maybe they need more than I do. As for the food, I'm born and raised on the border of Mexico and although I must say it does scream authenticity especially on appearance the meat is bland, and that "Mexican rice" is by far the worst tasting rice I've had. For a casual person that likes Mexican food you may like it, but if you know what you're tasting you will not. Also, they didn't have 4 different things on the menu available ultimately leading me to have to go with my 5th option. It is very expensive for what it is, and even more expensive when your waitress manipulates the system.

For lunch, we started with the honeydew agua fresa, it had a sprig of rosemary, on ice - it was delicious. The guacamole was fresh and lightly salted with their amazing, large round corn chips. We tried many different tacos; the duck birria with broth, chicken tinga, mojo pork carnitas, pork belly (my friend's favorite), sesame ribeye, seared chorizo, mushroom taco (very good), baja fish (lightly breaded and fried fish), bibb lettuce wrap, yucatan shrimp, and the ahi tuna tatako. There were all amazing! Also good was the kimchi, the spicy cucumber salad (with a slight kick), the esquites with the corn off the cob, and the black beans with sofrito. Our server was great. The restaurant has many seating options; we loved sitting outside in the back area.

Even…read moreon a busy night where we waited close to an hour to get seated, the experience was worth it. The vibe here is noticeably different from the Aventura location -- much more of a club atmosphere with a live DJ, which honestly adds a lot of energy to the night. If that's your scene, you'll love it. Food-wise, mostly excellent. The margaritas were great, the plantains are always a hit, and the tres leches was solid -- loved the coconut flavor, just couldn't finish it after everything else. The pork belly tacos are my usual favorite, but this visit they missed the mark slightly -- the pork portion was too big for the taco and the shell had already fallen apart before I could even pick it up. More of an execution issue than a flavor one, because the ingredients were still great. Everything else was on point. Still one of my favorite spots -- just hope they dial in the taco construction next time.

Kevin was back there whipping our food up as well as training another person. The food was exceptional, very fresh tasting and watching them grill added to the experience. The portions were not short handed. The prices were very fair, compared to Washington. We had tacos, burritos, nachos, salads and everyone ate all of their plates. It's kind of a smaller establishment but we made it work. 9/10 for the food (wish my steak was seasoned more) but 11/10 for the service. Kevin was patient with all of our questions, polite and very thankful we came in! Highly recommend this establishment.

Delivery may or may not be the best thing one can do when trying a new place but alas I will be honest with what I ordered. Got a steak burrito with a fish taco and some chips and queso. The steak burrito was more of the rest of the fillings and very minimal steak unfortunately, may have been a bad day but overall the flavor was good, just wished there was more meat. This is where my ratings get low simply cause of that. The fish tacos were nice and refreshing. Flaky fish and the toppings were great. The chips and queso were good nothing out of the ordinary. Will try again hopefully in person next time.
